The reason everything seems so fake is because the working-class has been squeezed out of the music business, journalism, TV and movie production.

Some interesting introspection from Rick Beato.

Why Only Rich Kids Make It In Music Today

[David Pocock @DavidPocock]

The PM and other major party politicians are getting their figures from the gas industry rather than the ATO and Treasury 🤯
Whose side are they on?
When you try and interrogate these figures from the gas lobby you get “PAGE NOT FOUND”.
You cannot make this stuff up!

The only way we win this is if the major parties know they will continue to lose votes at the next election if they don't put Australians first.

[David Pocock @DavidPocock]

Appalled but not surprised to see govt caving to the gas companies.

This just makes me more determined to go harder on our campaign to get a fair return on our gas through a 25% tax on gas export revenue.

@KennyCarmody 3 words. Mass Formation Psychosis

[Anish Moonka @anishmoonka]

The diamond engagement ring was invented by an ad agency in 1947. Before that, only 1 in 10 American brides got one. The company behind it, De Beers, was worth $9.2 billion three years ago. Today that number is $2.3 billion, and its owner is trying to find a buyer.

In 1940, diamonds were a luxury for the rich. Nobody proposed with one unless they had serious money. De Beers had a warehouse full of diamonds and no customers, so they hired NW Ayer, an ad firm out of Philadelphia. A copywriter named Frances Gerety came up with four words: “A Diamond is Forever.” NW Ayer paid Hollywood studios to write diamond proposals into movie scripts. They planted stories in gossip columns about which rock some actress just got. They invented the “two months’ salary” rule, the idea that a man should spend two months of income on a ring. None of that existed before. It was all marketing.

By the 1990s, 8 out of 10 American brides wore diamond engagement rings. Then De Beers did it again in Japan, going from 5% to 60% in 14 years. Advertising Age called it the greatest advertising slogan of the 20th century. They were right.

The whole business ran on one trick: make diamonds seem rare. De Beers controlled most of the world’s supply but only released a small amount each year. That artificial shortage kept prices sky-high. And the “forever” in the slogan had a second job: if nobody resells their diamond, supply stays tight and prices stay up.

Lab-grown diamonds blew that apart.

You can now grow a diamond in a lab that is the same thing, atom for atom, as one pulled out of the ground. Costs 80–85% less. In 2019, only 6% of engagement rings in America had a lab-grown stone. By 2025, that number was 61%. That’s from The Knot’s annual survey of 10,000+ newlywed couples. People are buying bigger rings (1.9 carats on average, compared to 1.6 for mined) and keeping the savings.

De Beers saw this coming. In 2018, they launched their own lab-grown jewelry brand called Lightbox, priced at $800 per carat. The idea was to make lab-grown look like cheap costume jewelry so people would still pay a premium for “real” diamonds. Prices tanked 90% anyway. By 2025, American grocery stores were selling lab-grown diamond rings for $200. De Beers shut Lightbox down last May.

Since 2023, De Beers has lost nearly $7 billion in value. It lost over $500 million in 2025 alone and has about $2 billion in diamonds sitting in storage that nobody is buying. Its parent company, Anglo American, is now in what they’re calling “advanced discussions” to sell off the whole thing. A 137-year-old company, dumped.

The greatest ad campaign ever made convinced a planet that a common carbon crystal was worth two months of your salary. The product that’s killing it just proved you can grow the same crystal in a factory for pocket change.

[Five Times August @FiveTimesAugust]

I am still amazed how quickly Covid got memory-holed. All the governments locking people in their homes, sending them to weird quarantine camps, businesses kicking people out for not wearing masks, masks that ultimately polluted our land and oceans beyond comprehension, being ostracized and labeled a "disease" if you didn't get the shot. People dying alone in hospitals for no reason. Terrible protocols that murdered people. Warp speeded shots injuring a maiming those convinced they were just doing what was right. So much made up and corrupt "science," complete nonsense dictating our lives while the truth was completely censored and suppressed online... so many lives destroyed from just so much evil taking place all at one time... it was truly crimes against humanity on a global scale. And not a one person ever questioned, tried, jailed, or held accountable for any of it anywhere.

Just one day... **poof** ... like it never even happened. Move along. It's all been swept under the rug. Are you still talking about that? Forget about it already. 😐

It's truly mind bending. I'll never ever get over it.

Just listened to @RWMaloneMD on Rogan talking about Mass Formation. The censorship of this term is still happening! It's been a battle trying to promote this song.... How can we learn from the past if we can't even discuss it?

It is sometimes difficult to put into words what genius is.

But you do feel it when you experience it.

This is Jacob Collier as he improvises with an orchestra performing with the world's first Audience Symphony Orchestra in San Francisco, a gathering of fans from all over North America, conducted by Suzie Collier. In the middle of the show, this happened - no rehearsal, no sheet music, no prior discussion.

In order to be born, you needed:

2 parents
4 grandparents
8 great-grandparents
16 second great-grandparents
32 third great-grandparents
64 fourth great-grandparents
128 fifth great-grandparents
256 sixth great-grandparents
512 seventh great-grandparents
1,024 eighth great-grandparents
2,048 ninth great-grandparents

For you to be born today from 12 previous generations, you needed a total of 4.094 ancestors over the last 400 years

Pause for a second and really think about this…

How many hardships did they survive?
How many silent battles did they fight?
How many tears did they wipe away?
How many moments of joy did they celebrate?
How many love stories began so that yours could one day exist?
How many dreams for a better future were whispered into the dark?
All of it…
just so you could be here, alive, in this moment

Six years ago today, a group of scientists got on a phone call and decided to lie to the world.

Fauci. Collins. Farrar. Andersen. Garry. Drosten.

They privately believed COVID looked engineered. So they wrote a paper saying the opposite — and used it to censor anyone who asked questions.

That one call shaped everything: the lockdowns, the censorship, the destroyed careers, the "trust the science" cudgel.

Here's exactly what happened. 🧵

[Toby Rogers @uTobian]

A shot so safe and effective that clinical trials showed increased all cause mortality in the vaccinated group and real world data showed negative efficacy after 6 months. And then they recommended it for children and censored anyone who objected.

[Toby Rogers @uTobian]

Wild that "Proximal Origins" still hasn't been retracted by @NatureMedicine even though it's the most corrupt scientific paper ever published.

[Toby Rogers @uTobian]

3 million pages of Epstein documents. Zero arrests.
17 million people killed by the Covid shots. Zero arrests.
The state is just begging to be overthrown by someone who actually gives a damn.

[Matt Ridley @mattwridley]

Six years ago today, a truly shocking incident occurred that disgraces the name of science.

A dozen scientists shared the view that Covid started with a laboratory experiment.

So they met online to discuss how to mislead the world into thinking the opposite.

we are overstimulated and we don’t even notice. netflix while eating. reels in the bathroom. music while cooking. podcasts on walks. we consume by default, not by intention. you keep filling every gap, then wonder why you feel foggy and unmotivated. boredom and silence are the real growth drivers. they give you space to think and create. that’s when solutions show up for problems that have been stuck for months. leave some room
